The report covers the Phase I studies conducted by AiResearch and its principal subcontractor, the Bloom Engineering Company, on the GRI high-temperature ceramic recuperator and high-temperature preheated combustion air burner system programs. The objectives of the Phase I studies of these programs were to (1) review the current state-of-the-art in high-temperature preheat burners and ceramic recuperators; (2) assess the market potential for an 1800 to 2000 F preheat combustion air system; (3) evaluate the application of such systems to selected industrial processes, and (4) develop a preliminary design for a ceramic recuperator and burner for a specific industrial host-site. The host site preliminary design will then be utilized as a reference for the Phase II component development efforts.
